Obviously, I hope for the best but I believe we are two strong drafts and a few good FAs away from contending. Our weak areas (TE, FS, depth) are VERY weak will take time to overhaul. I happen to believe that FA could cover those areas but Ted Thompson is reluctant to make full use of it. So, the crapshoot that is the draft will probably be utilized with mixed results. So much also depends on our young OL. If it doesn't improve, neither will our W-L column. I agree that Favre's return does NOT guarantee better results than last year. It only assures us of a QB who will most likely complete just over 50% of his passes and a QB rating around 72. Hardly inspiring IMO. So, a better running game is the only way we can hope to improve our record. We will be very competitive in our division but outside of it is another question. We will not be a come-from-behind team once again, so it behooves us to get the early lead and hang onto it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
